Replacing the fuse

Should the mains fuse blow replace it only with an equivalent part. The fuse holder is located just below the mains inlet socket. To replace the fuse disconnect the product from the mains supply. Using a flat blade screwdriver remove and replace the fuse. If the fuse blows a second time there is a fault in the product. Contact your local retailer.

Mains voltage operating range

AV 5150 Active Isobarik Bass Speaker

115V, 230V +/- 10%, 50-60Hz.

Setting the mains operating voltage

All products with a voltage selector switch must be set to the local mains supply voltage before connecting to the mains supply.

Please check the setting of the voltage selector switch at the mains input socket before connecting the product to a mains supply.

To set the mains operating voltage unplug the mains supply cable and using a flat blade screwdriver turn the selector switch to the appropriate voltage.

Warning!! The power supply may be destroyed if it is connected to 240V when set for 120V.

Switching the product on and off – standby operation

AV 5150 Active Isobarik Bass Speaker

The AV 5150 contains circuitry which senses the presence of an audio signal and powers up the product. The AV 5150 remains powered up for several minutes after the audio signal disappears, then reverts to standby mode, consuming very little power. Standby mode is indicated by the front panel indicator glowing red. Full operation is indicated by the front panel indicator glowing green. The mains switch (behind the control area cover) switches the product OFF completely or ON. If, after three minutes, the AV 5150 does not sense an audio signal it will switch to standby mode.

Positioning the products and heat

All electronic products generate some heat. Audio products, in particular audio power amplifiers, have to handle and dissipate large amounts of power. It is essential to provide adequate ventilation to allow this heat to dissipate into the environment. All Linn products are fully protected against overheating and will shut down before any component becomes over heated. However the products will last longer and perform better if they are kept cool. The AV 5150 Active Isobarik Bass Speaker keeps its power amplifier semiconductors cool by transferring the heat on to the extruded heatsink. As a result the extrusion will become warm in use.
